Arthur: We nearly back yet, chaps?

Martin: Yes, Arthur; we're just flying over London now.

A: Oh, brilliant, really? Oh yeah, look, there's a bus, and a dog –

Douglas: Yes, how else would we be able to tell it was London if it weren't for the bus and the dog?

A: - and a tall building, and oh, YELLOW CAR! And there's a bicycle, and ooh, look, another tall building! 'Cept this one's got a man on it who looks like he's going to jump.

M: What? Arthur, that's not funny.

D: No, Martin, Arthur's right…Thoseare words I never thought I'd hear myself say. But anyway, look, there! Martin, circle in closer, we need a better look.

M: 'Circle in closer'? Douglas, are you absolutely mad?

D: Martin, just do it.

M: *sighs heavily*

A: Hey, Skip…is that a dead bodyon the roof next to that man?

D: No, Arthur, it's just a dummy, lying in a pool of fakeblood, and holding a gun.

A: Oh good.

M: Douglas.

D: Sorry.

M: Anyway, are you done sightseeingnow? I rather think it's time we quit flying in circles and get to the airfield before Carolyn calls and starts interrogating us as to our whereabouts.

D: Martin, we can't just fly away! I'm fairly certain that man is going to jump.

M: Of course we can just fly away! We're in an aeroplane! And what, you were planning on just sitting here and watching?

A: Maybe he just likes standing on tall buildings while making phone calls. You probably get better reception up there…

D: Of courseI'm not going to just sit here and watch, Martin.

M: Good, so we can –

D: We're going to save him.

M: …Douglas, I really do hope you arejoking this time.

D: Why in the world would I be joking about saving a man's life? So, let's see…GERTI's a small jet, so if we descend at an angle we should be able to easily swoop down between the buildings and catch him on the tip of the wing before he plummets to the ground. Now, the tricky bit will be the timing –

A: Brilliant!

M: What? No, Arthur, it is notbrilliant! The polar bears were bad enough, but this is just suicide!

D: No, what that man is doing is suicide.

M: Well, all the same…no, wait! If he's committing suicide, then he obviously doesn't want to be rescued in the first place!

D: Maybe I should clarify. The man is going to jump off the roof, but it's notsuicide.

A: Whoa! This is just like a murder mystery! And Douglas is like…Sherlock Holmes! And that means that you can be Watson, Skip!

M: No, no, I'mSherlock Holmes!

A: Oh, so Douglas is Watson?

D: Absolutely not.

A: Well, somebody has to be Watson…Can Ibe Watson?

M: Sure, fine, Arthur, whatever. But Douglas, what do you mean, it's not suicide?

D: Just look at him. He obviously doesn't have suicidal intentions. It's the dead man holding the gun who already shot himself. The jumping man just wants to live. He's making his final phone call now, see?

A: Alright, Douglas is definitelySherlock Holmes.

D: …Martin? Aren't you going to angrily deny that statement? Are you quite alright?

M: Yes, it's just…Can we stop circling? I'm feeling a bit…a bit…

*Indistinct noise*

A: Skipper!

D: Arthur, check him and make sure he's alright, I have to take control. Try not to kill him while you're at it.

A: He's just collapsed…I think he passed out.

D: I'm sure he'll be perfectly fine til we reach the airfield as long as you don't touch him. What do you think it could have been? He doeshave that 'abnormality of the inner ear' and blacks out when he gets…dizzy…

A: Oh Douglas…You wouldn't let him stop circling…

D: Yes, Arthur, that'll do.

A: Douglas, you clot!

D: Arthur, weren't you going to help me save a man's life?

A: Oh yeah! What can I do to help?

D: You can sit down in that chair and hang on for dear life. Without touching anybuttons or levers. Got it?

A: Right-o!

Douglas: Good. Commencing dive in approximately twenty seconds.

A: Douglas?

D: Yes?

A: This is BRILLIANT!

D: Indeed it is, my dear fellow. GERONIMOOOOO!
